What makes this worse is the obvious disrespect from Cowbee of my request to disengage. I made it very clear I didn’t want to argue. These communities have absolutely no standards of behaviour for members of the in-group. Which is exactly why I don’t engage with them in these communities.

Well, also the fact that I hate being constantly called a liberal for not repeating Capitalist Putin’s latest botfarm talking point. Talking to these people is an exercise in keeping my calm while I am constantly insulted. No thank you.

    This reminds me of the behaviour in young siblings where one will initiate, and when the anticipated response comes, they launch in to “Mom, they’re touching me!”

    You clearly do want to argue, you just don’t want to be argued back with. Either that, or you’re just trying to provoke a response.
